Can an idealistic dog lover teach a jaded hockey player new tricks?
Lilly: My life is like the love child of a
train wreck and a dumpster fire right now. I’ve been canned, my
professional reputation is shredded, and now I’m walking dogs to make
ends meet.
But I still believe everything will work out. Somehow.
Then a dog at the park attacks my friend’s dog. At first, I’m ready to give the owner hell—but it turns out he’s in desperate need of doggie daycare. I figure, why not? I love dogs and I need the cash.
Too bad his cocky bad boy attitude annoys me. He’s too damn cute for his own good. And I’m not talking about the dog.
Easton: My coach is riding my ass and I’m
not handling it well. When I’m saddled with an abandoned pooch, my
teammate thinks a dog will keep my temper in check. I think I have
enough problems already.
But when my new dog gets into a tussle that leads me to meet a smoking hot chick who knows how to handle the rascal, I start to think pet ownership isn’t all bad. At least it gives me an excuse to see Lilly again. . . .
Neither of us are interested in a relationship. First they steal your bed, then they steal your heart. And I’m not talking about the dog.
What I thought about
Must Love Dogs...and Hockey
Lily is out of work and looking for income when she gets offered a lot of cash to take care of Otis, Easton's dog. There some attraction between these two but Lily is hesitant and doesn't want to get involved, thinking that she'd only get hurt and Easton is a client. However, chemistry takes over and these two finally decide to go out together.
The book really takes off when Lily and Easton start dating. Their relationship is really sweet and lovely. But there are a few issues to resolve, one of those being Easton's reluctance to stand up to his abusive hockey coach. Easton is really a sweet man and I loved these two together.
Overall, a sweet hockey romance. It was a bit slow at the beginning, but it really shines when the main characters get together. There's a few lessons to be learned, and Easton comes through like a champ.
